Amy, this is tooo much, you have me in stitches!! I was about to post my Irish stuffed popato recipe on my blog (potatoes are Irish , right? ha ha)when I saw your comment on my blog about the soda bread. My daughter made the Irish soda bread when she was in homeschool about age 15. I want to post about "something" Irish all this month, and just celebrate the whole month long! I'll let the bread to you, as I am sure you will have a scrumptious picture to post with it!! Wish I could taste it! I barely have time to cook supper lately . Have a great day!

Joanna, flaky, moist, not too salty, not at all dry. The recipe I use is Alton Brown's which can be found on Food Network's website. It's the best recipe I've tried for biscuits. Susan's technique is what makes them come out so huge. I barely knead them at all and that's what I was doing wrong before. Biscuits are definitely NOT made like bread! LOL

Chris, good thing we're not neighbors! You'd be as big as a barn!

Sunny, oh DO share your Irish soda bread story. Something else I'm intrigued by and would like to try is potato farls. Any pointers?
